    Disciple: Behold Christ - Pastor Joseph Pringle

    You and I have an open invitation to behold Christ with an unveiled face. And what we behold begins shaping who we become. This is week ten of our Disciple series, and today we land on transformation. Not just the idea of it, but what it actually looks like to be continually formed by the Spirit of God as we fix our eyes on Christ. We work through three modes of beholding Him: Behold Christ, the glory of God revealed.The Father has given us the perfect revelation of Himself in Jesus. His patience, his authority, his tenderness, his obedience. You do not have to invent an image of God. Look at Christ. We behold Him through His Word, through prayer, through worship, and through obedience. And there is a warning here too. Solomon drifted not all at once, but slowly, by beholding other things. The same drift is possible for any of us. Behold the new creation. See yourself in Christ.The Word of God is a mirror. The question is which mirror you are looking into. If you keep claiming the old creation over your life, you will miss what God is doing in you today. When you behold Christ, there is revelation, repentance, and then commissioning. He cleanses you and He sends you. Behold Christ in one another.The same Spirit who is at work in you is at work in your brothers and sisters. When you see that, it changes how you love people. It gets you over your preferences. It gives you patience with the people who frustrate you. And it moves the church forward in unity. We would love to have you join us at C3 Orange County any Sunday.

    Disciple: The Strength To Finish - Pastor Joseph Pringle

    Following Jesus is not a sprint of spiritual intensity. It is long obedience in the same direction, and that demands endurance. In this message from our Disciple series, Pastor Joseph walks through James 1:2-4 and lays out what it actually takes to finish the race well. The question hanging over the whole message is this: am I developing the endurance to follow Jesus to the end? Here are the three points he works through: The test requires a different perspective.James does not say if you meet trials, he says when. And he does not command an emotional response. He commands a new perspective shaped by truth. Count it all joy, not because the trial feels good, but because you know what God is doing in it. Stop putting your trial in the debt column and start moving it to the profit column. The test produces endurance.Endurance is not imparted in a moment. It is produced in a process. The Greek word for perseverance means the capacity to remain under pressure without abandoning your commitment. Staying power is built by staying. Let the test finish its work.Stop resisting what God is revealing. Keep obeying while God is forming. And remain dependent on the grace of Christ, because grace does not just pardon us. It trains us to live differently. We would love to have you join us at C3 Orange County any Sunday at 10am.

    Disciple: Planted In Gods House - Pastor Joseph Pringle

    A disciple is someone whose life has been reordered around Jesus Christ. And that kind of formation only happens when you are planted in the house of God. In this message from the Get Planted series, we work through Psalm 92:12-15 and what it actually looks like to stop wandering and put your roots down. Roots Before FruitThe righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like the cedar in Lebanon. Not because their circumstances are ideal, but because the life of God in them goes deeper than the conditions around them. There are no shortcuts to maturity. God is not just asking how quickly you grew. He is forming the kind of life that will remain. You Belong to a BodyPaul does not leave it at you belong to Jesus. He says because you belong to Jesus, you belong to one another. There is no category in the New Testament for an intentionally isolated disciple. Biblical community reveals what private spirituality conceals. God puts you among his people, not perfect people, but a redeemed people, because that is where formation actually happens. From Receiving to ContributingThe body needs what God has placed in you. Grace has come to you but it is not supposed to stop in you. Your testimony, your encouragement, your prayers, your generosity, it is carrying something for somebody else. There comes a point when the disciple has to stop only eating fruit and begin bearing it. We would love to have you join us at C3OC and get planted with us.

    Disciple: Reconciled to Reconcile - Pastor Joseph Pringle

    You and I have been reconciled to God through Christ. That reconciliation was a gift we could never earn, and it was never meant to stop with us. That's the big idea behind this message: reconciliation received becomes reconciliation entrusted to us. We are ambassadors for Christ, and the way we handle relationships is the evidence of the gospel we say we believe. Here are the three things we walked through: Remember who you represent. We are ambassadors. That means our authority comes from the One who sent us, and the message He has entrusted to us is: be reconciled to God. That has to show up in our marriages, our workplaces, and every hard relationship in between. Fight the good fight. There are fights worth having in this life. Truth is worth fighting for. Unity is worth fighting for. But a lot of us are spending our energy on the wrong fights. We are fighting against each other when there is a real enemy at hand. Be eager to maintain unity, because maintaining is always easier than rebuilding. Restoration is the destination. Biblical confrontation is not weakness. Jesus actually encouraged it. The goal going into any hard conversation has to be restoration, not vindication, not punishment, not avoidance. Aim for restoration, and God will guide the conversation. We would love to have you join us at C3 Orange County any Sunday at 10 a.m. Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, 2 Corinthians 6:1-2, 2 Corinthians 13:11, Matthew 5:9, Matthew 18:15, Romans 5:10, Colossians 1:21, Ephesians 4:1-3, Ephesians 4:26, 1 Timothy 6:12, 2 Timothy 4:7, John 13:35

    Disciple: The Cost of Discipleship and the Power of the Cross - Cecily Feldman

    Jesus said yes to the cross so that we could say yes to him. That is the thread running through this message, and Cecily Feldman traces it from the garden of Gethsemane all the way into the everyday decisions of our lives. She opens in Mark 14, with Jesus on the Mount of Olives, deeply distressed, asking the Father if there is any other way. And the answer was no. But Jesus did not go to the cross alone. An angel came and strengthened him. He needed help, and help came. Then she jumps to Acts 2. The same Peter who kept falling asleep in the garden, who couldn't pray for one hour, stands up 60 to 90 days later and preaches to thousands. What changed? The cross happened. The Holy Spirit came. That same power is available to us. From there she walks through Romans 6, Galatians 2:20, and Colossians 3. The old self is dead. We have been raised with Christ. And now Paul says, set your minds on things above, put to death what belongs to your earthly nature, and clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Cecily lands it in three honest questions:When am I letting convenience determine obedience?What does my spending tell me about my priorities?What does my schedule reveal about who is actually in charge? Come join us at C3 Orange County on Sunday mornings and bring your Bible. Scriptures: Mark 14:32-41, Acts 2:14, Romans 6:3-5, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 3:1-12

    Disciple: Teachability - Pastor Joseph Pringle

    Can the Bible still change your mind? That's the question Pastor Joseph Pringle puts on the table in this powerful message from our Discipleship Series at C3 Orange County. Receiving God's Word isn't passive — it's an active, humble decision to let Scripture have the final say over every area of your life. In this episode, Pastor Joseph walks through James 1:19-25 and unpacks what it truly means to receive the Word of God — not just hear it. Here's what you'll dig into: 📖 Come Under the Word — Teachability isn't optional for a disciple. True meekness means opening the Bible willing to be wrong and letting God reshape your thinking, desires, and habits. 🔍 Let the Word Confront You — From 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Pastor Joseph breaks down how Scripture teaches, reproves, corrects, and trains us — and why we can't cherry-pick only the parts that comfort us. ⚡ The Word Is Living and Active — Hebrews 4:12 reminds us the Bible doesn't just tell us what we did — it exposes why we did it, cutting right to the heart. 🏗️ Put the Truth to Work — Being a doer of the Word, not just a hearer, is what builds your life on the rock. The mirror of Scripture only transforms us when we act on what we see. 🌱 The Blessing of Obedience — James promises that the one who looks into the Word and does it will be blessed in all they do — not some, but all.
